Im doing a campain on inexperianced Riders. What would you say are there most common faults?
Answers:
they don't realize that most car drivers are out to get them,
they think car drivers are aware of their surroundings,
they don't realize that cars have really big blind spots, IE don't see anything coming up behind them
road perception the difference between cars and bikes
how the elements effect you much more
Well, sure that the lack of experience, but also to drive drunken , with drugs,at great speed, disobey the transist laws
The main problem with new riders/drivers is over confidence.
They think they are the best thing since sliced bread and usually end up killing someone or themselves.
Your spelling is absolutely disgraceful. Shame you didn't spend a bit more time on learning to spell, and less on poncey graphic design.
I've been riding since i was 16, am now 41 and still riding. My advise to young riders is that you must treat every other road user as if they are trying to kill you, be ready for it, and expect it.In Essex where i live, on average 8 people(car drivers) will pull out in front of you in one day's riding because they didn't see you, (they didn't look for you!!) Eyes in the back of your head,side,front,up,down everywhere.. and always cover your brakes. Good luck..!!
well to start their is a common problem is that they take a corner to fast.they cant balance the bike in slow moving traffic they don't drive with the weather conditions and anyway you should know your a rider for the last 5 too 10 years good luck on it
All new riders should take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation basic rider course, Even if you rode years ago on your dirt bike.
They need to be aware of what is going on
Car drivers are 'blind' to motorbikes, always assume they have not been seen
They need to realise they are in-fact very fragile, they will always come off badly in a crash
do not get close to a vehicle in front
slow down Force=Mass * Accelleration (ouch!)
I read once that most accidents occur during a rider's first six months on a motorcycle. It didn't matter how experienced the rider was, it was the fact that the rider had less than six months experience on THAT motorcycle.
I think that newer riders are not paranoid enough while driving, and don't know how their bike responds to emergency situations, such as heavy braking or rapid acceleration and maneuvering.
As a cop who rides: inexperienced riders are often afraid of or dont understand the braking system on a motorcyle. This causes them to stomp the rear brake when they get in trouble. Rear brake lock up causes them to highside. New riders need to take a motorcylce rider safety course.
when you first get onto a big bike you don't notice how fast the corners come up to you.so,one fault would be not being able to read the road ahead.
the life saver look i still see a lot of bikers not looking over their shoulders before turning.
playing catchup with the one that has raced ahead I've seen many riders killed playing game.
hope this is some help to you good luck with your campain.
They really don't pay a lot of attention to things going on around them, and they think that they all ought to be doing wheelies within a week or so of getting a bike. They see these rappers in videos "stuntin' like their daddies" and think it's so easy - when in fact, in the hands of most morons, these machines are deadly. They might as well be riding on chainsaws!
going a tad to fast springs to mind,other road uses have no chance.
Looking too close to the front wheel instead of further up the road
Entering turns too fast and trying to brake partway into a turn
Riding in car/truck drivers blind spot
Not understanding the effects of countersteering
Following too closely to other vehicles
Not checking mirrors often enough
Riding too fast for conditions/traffic
They follow too close. They are not aware of what is around them and don't "head check" or "lane position".
I have found that most inexperienced riders are just as aware of the dangers as your average car driver. It's when they get on a motorcycle that they finally START to become good car drivers.
Perhaps you should do it the other way round.
Major Fault: Not thoroughly learning the capabilities of Themselves or thier equipment before taking it out of the "safe zone" (parking lot or driveway).
Inexperienced riders tend to:
Forget they are virtually invisible sometimes to people in cages
Forget just because they are small, doesn't mean all the rules of the road don't still apply to them.
Forget that when you look there, you go there.
Forget that wet roads are even more dangerous for them.
Okay, sometimes they don't forget, because they didn't know in the first place.and I'm sure there are many more.being an inexperienced rider myself I hope I'm not guilty of most of the common newbie rider issues.I rode b*tch for a year so had a jump on those that went from nothing, to riding their first bike.
Being fortunate to have never been down (on the street). I have realized with experience comes a more mature rider. My reflexes may not be as quick as they were when I was a younger man, but my "omni awareness" has improved greatly.
Never try to teach an automobile driver the rules of the road while you are on a motorcycle.
Always use your blinker even if you are the only one on the road. The most common response to an accident is "he came out of nowhere." Well..he was there you just didn't see him.
Showing off is for the professionals on a closed course or having fun on a motocross bike.
Always have an out of every situation you are in.
No matter how many years experience you have motorcycles are dangerous. Never ever take riding for granted.
In a motorcycle accident, it doesn't matter who gets the ticket, it is the bikers fault for being in a position to be injured.
These things being said, everyone is a beginner at one time, so take the safety course and be careful. Motorcycling is a passion to me and I hope it becomes a passion for anyone wanting the freedom of the open road
ENJOY
I'm a volunteer fireman.Last year I went on a call for a bike wreck.The rider was dead and the Vstar he was riding had 63 miles on it.He was less than 2 miles from his house going too fast on a curve in the road and hit a van coming the other direction.So I'd say you need to watch your speed.At least until you know your machine
By far, the biggest mistake of new riders is buying too much bike. Too many are more concerned with looking cool than in choosing a bike that will give them the best chance of staying out of trouble while they learn proficiency.
In my "vast" experience one of the most common failing of inexperienced riders, is to much speed into corners and then panic braking whilst cranked over. What they have never learnt is that once you are in the corner you are committed and it is too late to brake. You must keep the power on and force the bike into the corner, if you shut off and brake the bike will sit up and go in a straight line straight through the hedge, fence, truck, car, cliff or wall. however if you keep your courage you may make the corner, and learn that it is always better for SLOW IN FAST OUT and not FAST IN DEAD OUT.
Most modern bikes far exceed their riders capabilities, and the rider doesn't take the time to find his or the bikes limits or his abilities

The perception that training prepares them for all instances that may occur when really it only gives them the basics. They try manouvers without considering that they haven't been seen and so don't consider giving as much warning to other drivers as possible.
i hope you do a spell check when you've finished your campaign on inexperienced riders.
I think speeding as its so easy on a bike to do it.
Don't wear correct clothing IE: during the hot weather they are riding around in t shirt's shorts and trainers , don't do the crash helmet up , use those coloured visors at night time ( cant see others ), don't wear gloves whats the first thing to hit the road when you come off your hands, its instinct to put your hands out bye bye skin, riding dangerously , overtaking when its dangerous to do so, cut cars up when taking a right turn, ride down the inside of cars in a traffic Que, see who can pull a "wheelie" on public roads,(DUMB) don't have the correct size "L" plate, they don't think that car,lorry drivers are stupid and don't look for bikes, they drive like idiots and not defensively, they should be treating every other road user as an idiot, they only look directly in front of themselves and not 2/3 cars in front of themselves ,they don't read the road ,don't change their riding to suit the road conditions ,rain,sunshine,wind, wet leaves, diesel ,petrol on road, wet manhole covers, brake on one of them and you will know it,
drive too fast wont be able to stop in time, don't use both brakes just the back one, show off to there mates,they are an accident waiting to happen and not preventing an accident by riding defensivley, what happened to the advert think once think twice think bike it was the best one out, also need to show the bike crash adverts more on TV might shock some of them into thinking how they are riding
falling off..very common,not to good for ya health.
TOO MUCH MOTORCYCLE! These goofs jump on a 600cc or bigger bike & twist the wick, just to see if it's fast. Guess what? It is!
keeping the bike on the road
Have ridden for a number of years -nearly been taken out by cars and had cigarette buts thrown out of windows -hitting my visor.
My advice would be
Lights on
Stay as visible as possible
Look at least 50 metres ahead
Factor in the crazy things ar car could do -i.e. weigh up their options as though you are sitting there.
Read the road -wet, dry , oil and ride accordingly.
Ride a bike that is not too powerfull for you.
make sure that you helmet is does not steam up and there is enough air circulating -(clear head)
I would have to say, riding in the same place on a lane too long or how to pick up a fallen motorcycle.
